Church of St. John the Baptist, Art Deco church in Molenbeek, Belgium
The Saint John the Baptist Church features an octagonal steeple and large stained glass windows arranged in the shape of a Latin cross.
Built between 1930 and 1932, this church replaced earlier versions dating back to the 9th century, established through Saint Gertrude of Nivelles's legacy.
The interior space contains preserved artifacts including 17th-century choir stalls and an 18th-century statue of Saint John the Baptist.
The church stands as an active Catholic parish serving the local community while maintaining its status as a protected heritage site since 1984.
The structure demonstrates innovative use of reinforced concrete in religious architecture, incorporating parabolic arches and non-figurative stained glass designs.
